BIO-ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS

Whether you are aware of it or not, your body emits a bio-electromagnetic field (body field). I believe this field is the missing link between mind and body coherence. Learning how to “tap” into this field means we can harness our full potential of energy. The aim of this article is to breakdown the science of the body’s bio-electromagnetic field.

Introduction

Bio-electromagnetic Medicine is coming of age in the 21st Century. The explosive growth in understanding the relationship between electromagnetism and physiology is creating amazing non-invasive diagnostic and treatment tools for a range of disease and illness that people suffer from.

BIO - signifies life.

Electromagnetic - refers to the electromagnetism generated by our body.

Field - the matrix of energy created by this electromagnetism.

All living things in the universe produce a certain field of electromagnetism composed of two main forces:

Electricity

Magnetism

Just like yin and yang, one cannot exist without the other.

As humans, we typically access bio-electromagnetic energy through the food we eat and the air we breathe.

Did you know- plant-like structures retain the energy of the sun and magnetic energies of the earth — making it available for absorption to every single living being.

Fact - cultures around the globe have a wide range of terms to depict the energy that encompasses us creating a body field (bio-electrical field) such as:

Chi ~ Chinese

Prana ~ Indian

Ki ~ Japanese

Ni ~ Native Indian

Ka ~ Ancient Egyptians

Aura ~ Western cultures

Did you know - eating raw organic food is amazing for your body’s BEM field.

#Important point

There are many different models to understand this subtle energy, which is the driving force of all living things. The bio-electromagnetic field is the closest model that western science has to explain the energy of life force

The Heart

Research has also revealed that the heart communicates information to the brain and throughout the body via electromagnetic field interactions. The heart generates the body’s most powerful and most extensive rhythmic Electromagnetic field. The heart’s magnetic component is about 500 times stronger than the brain’s magnetic field and can be detected several feet away from the body . It was proposed that this heart field acts as a carrier wave for information that provides a global synchronizing signal for the entire body (McCraty, Bradley & Tomasino, 2004). Excerpt from - heartmath.org

WHOAAAaa!!… now that deserves a reread.

Our heart is the epicenter of bio-electric activity within the body, sending more electrical information to the brain than what the brain does to the heart.

The biggest contributing factor that determines your field is the emotions you tune into.

E- motions - can be broken down into energy in motion which is directly linked to the bodies BEMF.

Your emotional diet can shift the bodies chemistry — determining the overall health of your body

BREAKDOWN:

Emotions — signal the heart to express a current of energy —positive or negative — altering the chemistry in the body.

By cultivating heartfelt, positive emotions, you promote a healthy environment in your body.

#Important point

When you are in a fearful, stressful state, your heart sends disrupted signals to your brain, which turns on the flight or fight response emergency mode (survival state).

What does this mean to me?

Think of your emotions as fuel for the brain — if you experience a consistent level of positive emotions in daily life then you will experience an improved level of mental functionality.

BE HAPPY - IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH

“The heart is a sensory organ and acts as a sophisticated information encoding and processing centre that enables it to learn, remember, and make independent functional decisions,” ~ Rollin McCraty

Heart Capability

Recent research in the discipline of neuro-cardiology shows us that the heart is a sensory organ and a sophisticated centre for receiving and processing information . The nervous system within the heart (or heart brain ) enables it to learn, remember, and make functional decisions independent of the brain s cerebral cortex. Moreover, numerous experiments have demonstrated that the signals the heart continuously sends to the brain influence the function of higher brain centres involved in perception, cognition, and emotional processing . Excerpt from - in5d.com

Did you know - The heart is an independent, intelligent organ that has its own unique capability to process and regulate information — what is known as a “ mini-brain ”; the heart is composed of approximately 40,000 neurons.

Keep your heart happy by NOT having:

A stressful emotional diet

Negative thought patterns

Dysfunctional perceptions

An Inactive lifestyle

An unhealthy diet

The heart processes information about the body and the outside world through an ‘info-energetic code’— an abundant network of blood vessels and cells.

Serving not only as our circulatory system, but as an energy information gathering and distribution system — like a complex telephone network.

Did you know? - emotion can be closely aligned with electricity—it can energize or electrocute the body.

Think about it - When you are angry, there is a charge of emotions running through your body. These emotions are governed by electricity. Your nervous system is a conductor of energy—electrical impulses.

Holding in anger or not having the patience to meditate/ breathe out this toxic energy will lead to an inner explosion, violating the health of your cells. The greater the explosion, the greater the damage. Not to mention the damages caused to others around you and the ambiance of your environment.

How many times have you felt the tension in a room after an argument?

Anger leaves behind a residue of negative energy in the space that it is expressed in. The field gets disrupted and you can feel it, even days after the heated argument.

Taking Care Of Your BEMF (Bio Electro-Magnetic Field)

Throughout a lifetime, our BEMF fluctuates in-between harmony and stress due to our thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions.

Do my thoughts matter?

Answer:

Having a field that is scattered means that the electricity running through your body has a weak pulse, due to the ill-effects of stress. People who suffer from physical and mental disease are known to have a weak pulse, and this is largely due to our thoughts, perceptions, and beliefs that have a very subtle effect on the flow of electricity through our body.

How you think and how you feel has a very real effect on our being.

Did you know - The bio-electromagnetic pulse has been measured through various scientific machines such as the electroencephalogram (EEG) machine which measures electricity and the magneto-encephalograph (MEG) machine which measures the magnetic field.

REPLENISHING YOUR FIELD

Athletes are a great example of people who have a very high pulse. There are many lifestyle habits that are harmful to our bio-electric field, depleting this vital force within us, if we don’t take the time to replenish our field or alter certain

habits.

Factors that drain your field:

Alcohol, drugs, and tobacco

Dead meat & highly processed foods

Uncontrolled negative emotions

Imbalanced sexual chakra

Factors that amplify your field:

Exercise

Diet (organic plant rich foods)

Meditation

Self-love

INTERESTING COMPARISON

The term Kundalini energy is often used in the Yoga community to describe a psychic spiritual energy. The ancient yogic texts suggest that the kundalini energy is dormant until activated, located at the base of the spine (Root Chakra).

If we translate the ancient theory into a modern perspective, we could define this energy to be a latent bio-electromagnetic energy, kept locked in the jungle of nerve fibres at the base of the spine.

Mother Earth Is Alive

Our amazing planet is alive and full of electricity. Scientists suggest that at any given time, there are 100 lightning strikes occurring somewhere on earth. The space that surrounds us is constantly being bombarded by electricity from the sun.

# FACT

There is an electromagnetic field being created by the earth spinning around its own axis. This gives us the north and south poles and the magnetic field or gravity of earth.

EARTH RESONANCE

Earth has an electric pulse of its own. All living things on earth are tuned to this Mother Earth wave. Scientists use special monitoring meters to measure this very faint pulse.


“The Resonance is an Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) wave that exists naturally in the space that, in turn, exists between the Earth's surface and its ionosphere [refer to illustration above]. ‘This weak resonance vibrates at a pulse of 7.83 Hertz (cycles). This frequency of waves and its harmonics at 14, 20, 26, 33, 39 and 45 Hz form the Schumann Resonances.’” —Anthony Nick Fiorenza

CLICK HERE TO GO THE SOURCE OF THESE FACTS

The earth's resonance or wave frequency was named as the Schumann Resonance, after the man who identified these waves.

The electromagnetic energy of our body is transmitted to this field of energy and interacts with it through our movements within the environment. This greater field of energy has a subtle effect on our own field by influencing the electric charges within the cells of our own body.

LEY LINES (SPIRIT LINES)

Ley lines are the energy system of the earth; they are said to be the veins of the earth that crisscross the entire planet. Ancient monuments (pyramids) are built on these lines. They are said to have enormous power and people have claimed to have felt energy surge up their body.

Maybe…

Distorted Ley Lines are the reason why mammals (whales or dolphins) are often found stranded on the beach? This makes perfect sense if you think about; how much we abuse the natural resources of this planet, leading to a disruption expression of Mother Earth’s Ley Lines.

MY THEORY:

By connecting to Mother Earth’s resonance, we ground ourselves with the natural harmonics of life. By having a clear mind and open heart, we open up our channels to feel this subtle energy. Everything in life is energy, and we are interconnected to Mother Earth’s heartbeat. If our field is scattered, full of stress, then our connection is blocked, hence we feel separateness or anxiety.

Quantum Physics

Our hearts are 5000 times more powerful magnetically than our brains. ” —Greg Braden

Classical physics (Newtonian physics) has taught and conditioned us to believe that our mind and body are separate entities and that everything in our world is made out of matter.

This belief system teaches us that the mind cannot have an effect on the body, that everything in our world is mechanistic in nature and separate from the mind.

This machine-driven theory of how the body operates — like a machine with cogs and gears, working in conjunction with one another. Has subtly influenced our beliefs in a way that limits our ability to harness the power of our BEMF effectively.

SUGGESTIONS FROM LATEST RESEARCH

Researchers today all around the globe have confirmed that the matter which appears to be solid, in reality, is actually more energy than it is solid matter.

The reality that appears to be solid to you right now; is actually made up of pure energy which is vibrating at a specific frequency — giving matter properties like shape, size, texture.

Did you know - The cells of the body are made up of atoms, which are broken down into:

Electrons

Protons

Neutrons

Quarks

Which are all an expression of vibrating energy.

LETS PUT THIS INTO PERSPECTIVE

When these particles vibrate in their nucleus (skin-like membrane), a small electrical impulse is generated in our body. Every individual cell in our body generates an electrical charge — all this electricity combined produces the electromagnetic field that extends all around the body for about 2-3 metres

OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW

The traditional concept of science suggests that the mind and matter are separate entities and should never be seen as the same thing. However, the quantum field shows us that wherever the observer looks, an atom will appear, implying that we as conscious observers have some effect on the matter around us. This then means that on some level, the mind has an effect on our environment.

What does this mean?

If we unravel this theory even further, it is not difficult to accept that our beliefs, ideas and whatever outlook we adopt in life, has an effect on what we experience in life. The way we use our observational skills has a major influence on our way of life. The key is to learn how to harness our awareness and attention.

KEY POINTS:

• Everything is connected via a unified field—“Quantum field”

• Everything is in motion and has a vibration or a field

• Mind has the power to shape matter (reality)

• Mind can directly influence the body’s energy field

• Everything in our body is governed by an electromagnetic field which includes our biology

• Mind, body, and matter are all connected and intermingled with one another via fields

“All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter” —MAX PLANCK

What Is Medicine?

Our medical industry has not yet integrated the new science of quantum physics or the information of the BEMF into its healing modalities. And many of the current methods of healing that we use in modern day medicine can be greatly enhanced if we did.

BAND-AID TREATMENTS DO NOT CURE THE CAUSE

Chronic pain cannot be healed through “band-aid” treatments, that do not address underlying causes.

In the long term, we run the risk of becoming addicted to synthetic chemicals — compromising the balance of the brain, which may lead to chemical imbalances, created from the ongoing artificial stimulation.

UNDERSTANDING THE NEW SCIENCE

We have to understand that the body has an electromagnetic component and this is otherwise called a bio-electromagnetic field.

This is the most effective/imaginative level of mending the human body. When we attempt and recuperate a few conditions on the physical level, it is the minimum innovative and just offers us impermanent alleviation. This is because of the way that our bio-electromagnetic field is still being disrupted by various factors like:

Stress

Diet

Anxiety

Fear

Negative thinking/feeling

The problem with modern medicine is that when we fall victim to a disease or illness, we try and fix things like a machine — very singular, operating on the part that is affected. We never truly get down to the most creative and powerful body — the energetic body.

Through the theory of quantum physics — understanding how electromagnetic energy works — through our biology, we can begin to access new states of being. Which will change limiting thoughts from within the subconscious mind.


THINK ABOUT THI S . . .

The human body is made up of over 1 trillion cells, and that number is greatly multiplied if we start to take into consideration how many sub-atomic particles it takes to make up the human body. There are millions of chemical reactions happening within the body at any given moment.

There is an old theory suggesting that these cells find each other miraculously in the vast space of the human body for its day to day operations. This hit and hope sort of theory just does not make sense at all; what does make sense is that there is an underlying field that governs the behaviour of cells in our bodies.


HAVE YOU HEARD OF MORPHIC FIELDS?


“Fields of order, self-organizing systems that organize cells, crystals, molecules, and organisms. Underlining intelligent fields of energy that give form to all of life.” —Rupert Sheldrake

STRONG, HEALTHY, VIBRANT FIELD

We have the power to tap into the electromagnetic energy produced by the body. All disease, trauma, fear and adverse emotional reactions are present when vibrations in the body are discordant.


BALANCE AND HARMONY

When we place an emphasis on balancing and harmonizing our field, we optimize our chances of living a healthy life.

When your body is functioning at its optimum, you are in a state of homeostasis (which means balance). When the body is in homeostasis, all the systems and organs within your body will be functioning properly.

How can I achieve homeostasis?

Answer:

When you fine-tune your field through various practices such as meditation, yoga, exercise, and healthy eating habits.


BENEFITS OF HAVING A STRONG FIELD:

-Resilience to the hormones of stress

-Brings a healthy balance to all systems within the body

-Stable moods & clarity

-Promotes healthier sleeping patterns

-Stronger mind & healthier body
